  • the roller 29 is connected to other rollers 33 in the driving roller unit 21 by a belt 34.
  • Each of the rollers 29 and 33 is brought into engagement with one of follower rollers 35 in the openable roller unit 22, thereby delivering a cut label laminate A between the respective pairs of opposing rollers.
  • the numeral 36 denotes a knob which is used for opening the openable roller unit 22.
  • a take-up reel 37 is mounted on the lower side of the openable roller unit 22 on the base board 2.
  • the forward free end of the laminate strip LL is wound up by this reel 37 which is connected to the stepping motor 11 by a round belt 38.
  • the foregoing delivery means 20 is followed by a stacker unit 39 which is provided with a plane frame 40, an upper vertical frame 41, a lower vertical frame 42, a guide frame 43 in the side portion, and a stacker frame 44.
  • This stacker frame 44 is provided with a cradle 45 to receive delivered label laminates LL, a movable frame 46 which moves along the guide frame 43, a roller 47 which rolls on the plane frame 40, and a carrying belt 48.
  • a spiral spring 49 is fixed between stacker frame 44 and the plane frame 40.
  • the carrying belt 48 is stretched around pulleys 50 and 51 and one of the pulleys, the pulley 50, is connected to a roller 33 of the driving roller unit 21 through a gear train 52.

  • the operation of the mechanism of the present invention will be described in the following.
  • the description is started from the lamination of the label strip L with the film F.
  • the label strip L is that delivered from the printer PR is passed through the guide rollers 3 and 5 and the laminating head 6. Meanwhile, the film F is paid out from the supporting means 9 and it is laminated with the label strip L in the portion of the laminating head 6 and the guide roller 7 to obtain a laminate label strip LL.
  • the rollers 12 and 13 are opened by the knob 14 and the laminate strip LL is passed through the rollers 12 and 13.
  • the laminate strip LL is further passed through the sensors 15 and 16, the rotary cutter 19 and the space between the driving roller unit 21 and openable roller unit 22 of the delivery means 20.
  • the openable roller unit 22 is opened down by operating the knob 36.
  • the free end of the laminate strip LL is passed along the series of follower rollers 35 of openable roller unit 22 and the free end is then attached to the take-up reel 37. Then, the start switch SW1 is turned on to drive the feeding device 8 and to rotate the take-up reel 37.
  • the laminate strip LL is passed through the feeding device 8, sensor 16, rotary cutting device 19 and openable roller unit 22, and it is wound up by the take-up reel 37.
  • the sensor 16 detects a trimming portion T of the laminate strip LL
  • the sensor 16 produces a signal to connect the clutch mechanism of the rotary blade 18.
  • the rotary blade 18 is thus actuated to cut the laminate strip LL and the clutch returns to its open position, and the feeding device 8 is stopped.
  • the openable roller unit 22 is closed to its normal position and the start switch SW2 is then turned on to produce a start signal.
  • the feeding device 8 and delivery means 20 are moved and laminate strip LL is moved forth.
  • the laminate strip LL is cut at every predetermined length by the rotary cutting device 19.
  • the cut pieces, label laminates A are delivered by the delivery means 20 and stacked one by one on the stacker frame 44 of the stacker unit 39. With the increase of the stacked cut pieces, the stacker frame 44 moves down against the force of the spring 49.
  • the operation of the whole mechanism is stopped.
  • the backing paper S of the thus prepared label laminates A are peeled off and applied to surfaces of desired articles (not shown) for data controlling or system controlling. Because the surfaces of label laminates A are protected by. the film F, they have excellent properties of wear resistance, weather resistance, water resistance, dust resistance and oil resistance and gives a long service life.
  • the start signal is produced by the switch SW2, however, it is possible to produce the start signal by the closing operation of the openable roller unit. Still further, in place of the pivotal motion of the openable roller unit, it can be made to open by moving it in the perpendicular direction.
  • the forward free end of the laminated label strip is firstly wound up by the take-up reel 37, and the label strip is cut at the stage that the setting is finished.
  • the openable roller unit is then closed to enter into the operation of feeding, cutting and delivering. Accordingly, the mechanism of the invention facilitate the difficult setting of laminated strips.
